The good news is, you’ve taken the first and hardest step in regaining control, searching for help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 3 years of experience in treating children, adolescents, and adults with mental illness. Specifically my career has focused on intense trauma, personality disorders, substance use, and depression however my skills are not limited to those topics. I enjoy incorporating creative methods into sessions, specifically with children.

Where you become vulnerable, you find your strength. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to therapy and the motivation for change. I am dedicated to providing a safe space with an emphasis on being genuine, providing non-judgmental empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

I understand the importance of building trust in the early stages of therapy. While I am caring and empathetic, I am also honest and able to challenge clients to step outside of their comfort zones and learn new ways to navigate life's challenges. With children and teens, I utilize a collaborative approach and work with the parent(s) to help recognize behavioral patterns and put systems into place for lasting change and results. I treat adults for issues including anxiety, anger, relationship issues, parenting/co-parenting, family conflict, and stress management.

Now Accepting Clients - Is the miscommunication between you and your partner ruining your day, your sex life, and connection? Do you think your intentions are misunderstood in your relationship? Does withdrawing feel safer than attempting to talk to your partner when conflict arises? If so, I would be happy to help you and your partner shift out of negative cycles, overcome trauma, and regain control over your lives.

Therapy can help you overcome and cope with a number of challenges. It is my hope that you feel empowered after each session with tools that will last a lifetime. I have 25 yrs as a psychotherapist. Before moving to NC I had a private practice in northern CA and still maintain my license in CA and see clients remotely. Over the years I have broadened my client population to adolescents as well as adults . My specialty is anxiety but I see clients with a range of clinical issues or simply just coping with life events and transitions. Additionally, I am certified to provide clinical supervision to clinicians seeking their LCSW in NC

You are not always going to get from me what you want to hear but I guarantee you are going to get from me what you need to hear.

Our lives are filled with joys, accomplishments, struggles, and sorrows.
